Do you know this biker? Police appeal after off-road bike rider seen pulling 'dangerous' wheelie on Telford road

Police in Telford have shared images of an off-road motorcyclist after they were spotted driving illegally on a road in Oakengates.

The incident, which was captured on dash cam, happened on Hartshill in Oakengates at around 2.20pm on Wednesday, February 12. 

A spokesperson for Ketley and Oakengates Safer Neighbourhood Team said: "The bike not only was riding illegally on the road but was dangerously pulling a wheelie coming over the brow of the hill going down Hartsill, Oakengates. 

"We are appealing for information as to who this individual may be, or where the bike may be stored.

"Quite simply, if you own one of these bikes you are not insured to ride it on the road. You must only use them on private land with the landowners permission. 

"There are official places locally where they can be ridden so it should not be a debate of ‘give them somewhere to ride’. 

"Also very often these bikes are ridden by riders who do not hold driving licences - adding to the danger they pose to other road users and pedestrians."
